   So had an interesting Sunday evening shopping for food. Found this on one of the POS machines in a local supermarket.

     @Oneironaut @admford The visible antenna is either Bluetooth or WiFi. There could be a cell radio we can’t see, but it’s common for these to connect to a separate cell phone hidden a short distance away. That minimizes the risk the skimmer contains information which could be tracked back to the criminal, making it effectively disposable.
